[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rAFTA!:
I have a phone on 4.1.57 running GreyBlur. The Android Version is 2.2.1

I haven't accepted any OTA updates, but I recently found out that Gingerbread is out.

What is the best way to go on about rooting the phone after the gingerbread update? Flash back to stock, then update, then root? If someone could point me in the right direction it'd be greatly appreciated.

:) thank you.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deziguy420:
1) root your phone...using this guide...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQVVqxvg4Go (files that you need are under description of that video..)

2) unlock bootloader...using this guide..http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1136261

3) install Tenfar's CWM using this guide...http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1138541

4) choose a rom and flash Via CWM

***Stay away from RSD as much as possible***
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k4zyn:
Is RSD and CWM the same thing? I don't understand what these two are.

If I'm on 2.2.2, stock w/ root and side-loading enabled, do I skip #1?

why isn't pudding used in any of this?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deziguy420:
yes skip #1

RSD is a flashing tool...

CWM is used for flashing too but it's much safer then RSD...

in order to unlock your phone's bootloader u have to do one step using RSD here is a pretty good video tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H02N4p9vEg0 on how to unlock ur bootloader...

on my previous post...2nd link is referring to pudding is it not?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rAFTA!:
1) I'm already rooted.

2) You say to stay away from RSD but to unlock the bootloader I need to use it correct?

3) I already have Tenfar's CWM.

4) Just choose a ROM that's updated with Gingerbread and Flash?

Thanks for your help :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirtburgler:
there are 2 versions of cwm. one for locked and one for unlocked. after you unlock you have to fastboot flash recovery to get the good CWM then you can flash roms properly.

RSD the 1.83 pudding

Fastboot oem unlock to unlock bootloader

fastboot flash recovery to get the unlocked CWM

CWM recovery to install roms

As long as you have not OTA to gingerbread then RSD is ok but not recommended. If youhave the OTA gingerbread then rsd will hard brick your device if you try to go back to an older build.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deziguy420:
if you already have Tenfar's CWM..then wt r u waiting for :D...go crazy and start flashing...:D

I cant agree more, WolfBreak has really made it so easy to install the prerooted rom. The only problem I have faced so far is my power widget is not working with 005 update. But battery life rocks. Initially it was a bit laggy, but now its flying up above everything.

Of course it's personal opinion but I am not a big fan of MIUI. Till this gingerbread update was available, I was using the froyo made by wolfbreak. Love his tweaks...makes the phone performs fast without issues.
[Blade General] Carlos_Manuel:
Hi!

is there any good ROM for White ZTE Blade II from TeliaSonera (GEN2)

ROM Which have good files which are fast which can get really good Quadrant point...?

there is only ROMs for Blade which are not good: Quadrant 444 or more

ROMs for ext4... I didn't make new partition because now I use Win7 not ubuntu!

and it looks like I got it to work (GingerBread)

CM7 some features not work sometimes ex: touch screen!

I need good ROM which are most Stable and Fastest!

Does anybody know good ROM for Gen2?

thnx!
[Blade General] k0zmic:
Swedish Spring.
[Blade General] Carlos_Manuel:
BAD Quadrant point and it is slow! :/

but thnx!

=)

I use right now GingerBread (Quadrant: 890-980)
[Blade General] k0zmic:
Enable Stagefright and you'll get a better quadrant score, not that it matters.
[Blade General] Carlos_Manuel:
OK, thanks!

:)
[Blade General] carkev:
have you tried Blue Ginger v5 ?

I actually love it, but am not very experienced and have no idea what Quadrant is.

(note that this is the rom I am struggling to get boot sound on though)
[Blade General] carkev:
just installed that Quadrant, standard edition

and it gives my gen 2 blade with blue ginger only 760 !

Blue Ginger perhaps no use to you then, but I love it nonetheless.
[Blade General] Carlos_Manuel:
Nope..

I do not use ROMs which are not stable! :/

everyday I try to find Stock GEN2 or Stable GEN2 ROM for my Blade II
[Blade General] k0zmic:
Then try an FLB based Froyo ROM.
[Blade General] Carlos_Manuel:
It's not good! :/

I use now CM 7 Nighty 159 with boot audio which I got to work! :D
[Blade General] carkev:
not stable ! ???

it's a solid as a rock
[Blade General] k0zmic:
Agree, most ROM's based on the Gingerbread Leak or Ginger Stir Fry are quite stable and solid.
[Blade General] xmdroid:
Try the Fryied_Vanilla
[Blade General] Carlos_Manuel:
Right now I use CM7 Nightly 161

So I don't try it now!

:)
[Blade General] drupad2drupad:
Man with CM7 you get a new nightly every night! So every time someone suggests you and you reply 'I try Nxxx, I try Nxxx' - there is no way out!

Also, Quadrant scores are rubbish, pointless and baseless! I won't go by that.

None of the Gen2 2.2 will give you a better score than CM7 or any other gingerbread based ROMs.

When you enable stagefright, overclock etc - you might get closer but then you will lose battery WAY more quicker! - so not good enough for daily use.

If you are fussy about Quadrant scores - CM7 is your best bet.

If you are fussy about 'everything must be stable' - then GSFB19 or SSRL5 or Flb Froyo R12 are your best bets. GSFB19 is 2.3.4 and other two are 2.2

If you are not fussy about having fast and smooth phone - then GSFB20.

I know you might say, "Now I use CM7 N162" ;)
[Blade General] Carlos_Manuel:
the nightly ROMs: yes every night/day newer!

but so what, if the nightly is working more than the normal 7.1 RC then I use nightly older or never! :D

I wait when they make 7.1 stable or 7.1 RC then I use it!

Froyo 2.2: Quadrant sucks + overlock is not nice for froyo, difficult to ROOT, some ROMs can't to be ROOTED, Froyo stragefright: not faster!

So I use CM or GB ROMs which works fine!

:)
[Blade General] k0zmic:
I think CM stable releases only mean the CM specific are stable, not the entire build.

Which Froyo ROM's are hard to root/can't be rooted?

Stagefright was disabled as it was giving ridiculously high quadrant scores IIRC and was subsequently determined broken. The main advantage of enabling it on Froyo was to play Gameloft games without the broken textures, probably not to improve overall speed.
[Blade General] Carlos_Manuel:
The CM Nightly's are not Stable! bur I use that ROM which works much better than other stable!

in nightly (newest) only wifi and other fixes nothing really much else..?

Froyo: I hate froyo because I think that froyo is not finished version..? Many froyo ROMs have too much problems which is not nice!

All Froyo ROMs Which I used (Stock) them are so hard to ROOT! need to add missing root files and other files to get ROOT to work fine even with z4root!

in Froyo Stock ROMs the superuser not work fine!

stable and other Froyo versions: maybe them have good ROOT files so then works normally!

and froyo have too bad quadrant, many games lagging, easily slowing down, many froyo ROMs don't have good apps2sd files to get files to SD card!

if the stragefright is enabled in froyo then: quadrant is something 500-800 P on Blade!

And gingerBread: stragefright not enabled almost same points 500-800 and some can get more than 900 and with enables stragefright: quadrant points are: 900-1480..? I got some day more than 1430 P on CM nightly (with stragefright..)

So I use CM nightly when there is newer Nightly where is better files! :D

P.S. If I flash to newer CM nightly then Do I need to do wipe and all if the newer don't have new apps?

I don't want to download all apps and games again to my Blade... :/

SORRY IF I WROTE TOO MUCH! :D

I need to go school so I don't have time to check this text.. -.-
[Blade General] k0zmic:
I find N161+ (unofficial nightly), find it on MoDaCo very stable, battery life is also good. You may want to give it a go. It has a proximity sensor calibration app for those who have problems with it e.g. Me and a few other people.

When you update to a newer nightly then just wipe Cache/Dalvik Cache from ClockworkMod recovery, all your data/apps will remain.
[Blade General] Carlos_Manuel:
OK!

I tested nightly 164 and market stocks like in other some nightly ROMs so I installed saunalahti 2.2 ROM but dapps2sd nit help to get apps to SD card on this 2.2 ROM..

I cant root like in other TeliaSonera 2.2 ROM...

ZTE Blade don't have good ROMs, all have bugs and problems whatever which stock, stable ROM! :/
[Blade General] RoadHazard:
I don't agree at all. I'm using Ginger Stir Fry B26, and it's better than 2.2 stock in every single way. It's much faster and more responsive, the touch screen is more responsive (might just be because the phone itself is), the GPS works much better, Wi-Fi works better (doesn't disconnect as soon as the screen turns off, as it does in both 2.1 and 2.2 stock), etc. Haven't had any problems with it, it's just great.
[Blade General] DrPaua:
whats the point with the froyo roms? why do so many people an outdatet android version? i'm totally happy with the newest cm7-nightly... why should someone change back to 2.2? :confused:

[HTC Sensation] htcsensation:
I can say most of the time im restarting my phone the icons gone on desktop, i remount the sdcard but still no icons, anyone can explain this?
[HTC Sensation] veronesi.n:
icons goes away because the apk is installed on the sd card, you must reboot phone in order to view it again, or install apks directly in phone's memory...
[HTC Sensation] htcsensation:
so thereis no option without rebooting?
[HTC Sensation] htcsensation:
well forgot to mention even with rebot not working!
[HTC Sensation] cjm1979:
Are they widgets or icons? It's well known not to install widgets to the sd card as this is what can happen. Check they haven't and if they have move them back to internal memory.
[HTC Sensation] ipaqer64:
I have the same problem.But I have to say the icons only are replaced by default icons on startscreens. In All Apps the icons are OK.

I asked HTC Support an got the answer I should try another microSD, which I did before asking. The support thinks maybe my card is not compatible or it can be damaged. As a result I would say answer not so helpful.

So I fixed the problem for me in moving all apps to phone.

@cjm1979: I only had it with icons, don't use many widgets
[HTC Sensation] cjm1979:
Are they installed to sd card? If so move them to phone
[HTC Sensation] htcsensation:
U can fix by reappling ur current skin

Change skin than come back to ur favourite skin and icons will appears

So I recently was able to replace my Samsung Fascinate because of the ED05 Update not fixing the missed call problem.

I recieved my DInc2 yesterday at 3pm & have noticed that it takes a minute or more to open links from Twitter in Dolphin browser hd and that the 3G icon and bars fluxuates from no bars, no 3g icon to full bars to 2 bars etc..

Just wondering if you guys no of a simple fix, if its a known issue, and your thoughts

Thanks
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
If you're not in a very well covered area, it seems the Inc2 doesn't work so well. For me, being in a well covered area, data functionality is actually exceptional (2mbit speeds not uncommon, usually 1+mbit in most areas, and only a few areas under 1mbit).

This seems to stem from the type of antenna being used. There is a discussion on trying to figure out the best/easiest way to fix this. So far what has been tried is aluminum foil in the back cover (this doesn't seem very well substantiated), small bus/magnet wire (personally tested and works to boost signal, but may not be worth the trouble), and the possibility of conductive ink to extend the existing antenna (possibly the best solution...if it works at all).

This doesn't help us, the major problem for us is flashing a firmware into touch chip - we cannot do this. The current firmware won't allow to detect anything above buggy dual touch.

If I am not mistaken, we just need the bootloader to be opened and we can install the drivers. Also, I think he said, somewhere in this forum, he has found the driver but then again, he can't test it as the bootloader is locked.

[EVO 4G General] Crossrocker:
Evo focuses better so it takes longer?

Deck's + SZ + SuperCharger script + ViperMod script.
[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
Unlikely. My Evo can't focus at all in anything but bright light with no motion. Maybe it's trying to focus, but it's not doing anything "better" than any other camera I've used.
[EVO 4G General] m4xwellmurd3r:
The only time I have focus issues is in ultra low lighting with the flash on. And that's mostly caused by my polarized filter on my lens. It could be that I use camera 360 pro, or maybe because I run cm 7.1 but my camera doesn't feel very slow
[EVO 4G General] liv4evr:
It probably helps the iphone focuses before you hit the capture button. Mine does it... Well tries to focus after I miss the shot
[EVO 4G General] IceCreaMan:
try changing your capture destination to internal storage vs your sdcard and see if it runs faster. try disabling face recognition and pic review to see if its any faster...

mine doesn't seem slow and i take alot of pictures but also the evo takes 100x better pictures than my wife's iphone 3gs.

quality vs speed....

Good evening all (UK question)

Just wonder how we stand if htc dont revise the back cover and make it fit the phone without gaps and the wifi Ariel is not moved? consumer direct, small claims?
[HTC Sensation] RoganTheTwat:
Not good. Unless it is a problem with every phone made and it causes actual damage as oppose to incoveninance (sp?). Because its not a safety issues like with cars for example I dont think they can be made to do so either. The best case we can relate this to is the iphone4 reception problem. So at best we could probably hope for a free cover case.

Also unless HTC were based in the UK which I don't think they are the UK trading standards would be much harder to impose.

Hope this helps.

from the other forum posts its a design flaw... just gota hope they fix the signal issue with a new cover, the overheating is not gona be fixed imo due to it just being crap rushed soc
[HTC Sensation] RoganTheTwat:
If its a design flaw then there isnt much hope. There is no fault. Just un thought out workmanship. Don't quote me on this though I could be wrong but have spent some time around issues like this in the past. I'll do a bit of research later. As long as these flaws continue to cause no defect to the phone and don't impose a safety issue then nothing will be done as there is no fault to function other than minor inconvenience.

Same legal cover as with the iphone 4's external Airplane mode button.

IE the item is not fit for purpose then the retailer must either repair or replace, or refund if that is not possible.

If memory serves with the iphone issue, owners could get out of their contracts and return the phone.

The Sale Goods and Services 1979 provides that goods sold must be of 'satisfactory quality'. This means of a standard that a 'reasonable' person would expect.

Having wifi cut out because of how you hold it is not reasonable, assuming you're reasonably close to the wifi router.

You must inform the retailer of the issue within 6 months of purchase, as before 6 months you do not have to prove there is a fault, it's up to the retailer to prove there isn't (not that they'll try that considering how well documented the issue is).

Now, if they can't repair it, and you want to keep the phone, then that's your choice to put up with the issue.

Having said that, all the demonstration Sensations I've looked at had no problems with the cover fitting (couldn't test wifi obviously).

It could be that some warp in the heat (during transport for example) in which case a replacement part is likely to resolve that issue.

From what I gather about our friends on the other side of the pond, we are extremely lucky to have such good consumer protection laws.

2. YES

3. Bcoz flashtool is the only one way to flash this new fw, we just have ftf file at the moment.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
So in the Development section we have a pre-rooted kernal with the new update, does it mean if we update it to that kernal we not only get a new kernal but also will have an updated firmware with superuser ?

Or it's just a kernal that's compatible with the new 4.0 firmware update ?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babygau:
You partly right, this prerooted kernel (DoomLoRD kernel, correct me if i'm wrong) is based on the kernel of new firmware 4.0.A.2.368, so theoretically, you can use the lastest firmware with root permission based on this kernel :)
